Customise now playing screen
#1
Hi,

Just wondered if it possible to have the year of release added to the music now playing view, perhaps in brackets or after a hyphen next to the album name?

Or is it possible by editing an xml file?

Also, not sure if this is a skin or xbmc thing, but when I play an album (recently added) on the home screen, it only plays the first song and the associated fanart doesn't display. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

1: year is available on the now playing screen.
i guess you mean the small player controls window...

edit PlayerControls.xml:
<label>$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album] $INFO[MusicPlayer.Year,(,)]</label>

2: it's an issue with the recently added script. nobody has been able to figure out how to play the full album, instead of a single song.

Thanks for your help Ronie, that addition does work on the small now playing screen (the relatively new one) but I was looking for the year to be added to the large screen (not sure of the correct name for it) that looks like this;

Cheers for the info about the full album playing from the home screen.

Many thanks
